Improved medical compound



UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEO JAMES V. HULSE, OF AURA, NEW YORK.

IMPROVED MEDICAL COMPOUND.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 54,550, dated May 8, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES V. HULSE, of Acra, in the county of Greene and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Medicated Compound andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same.

This compound is intended for use as a cure and preventive of cholera, fevers, eruptions, contagious diseases, and many other ills.

In order to prepare my improved compound I take of cayenne-pepper, one part; gum-camphor, four parts; sulphur, twelve parts. These ingredients I pulverize together finely in a common mortar or in any other suitable manner, when the compound is ready for use.

I prefer to use the compound as an external application to the body.

I place a suitable quantity of the compound within a belt or pad of cloth or other material,

which is attached either to the person or to the clothing.

The compound may be worn with advantage upon or near the pit of the stomach, or upon or near any other part of the body.

The gentle heat of the body sets free a small portion of the ingredients of the compound in the form of vapors, which rise toward the mouth and are inhaled. I suppose that there is also a medical action by the absorption through the pores of the skin of portions of the compound.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent- The within-described medicated compound,
